To all my fellow Canadian readers, Happy Canada Day, to all you non-Canadians, Happy FREE AGENCY DAY!!! Certainly one of my favorite Holidays, what's better than a bunch of NHL happenings caped off with fireworks. Alright, so the Avalanche probably won't be big players today, however, we know that they are looking for goalies. So off you go Avalanche management, you have a fan base waiting to welcome the newest Avalanche member (hopefully members). Today's Cupcakes will be a look back (alright, so I've been feeling nostalgic lately) at some of the past transactions involving Avalanche fan favorites, and not so favorites, to give us a reminder at what they have done in the past. Like the last couple of days, A.J. is providing some insight into the moves.
All dates from Wikipedia
2007
Lost:
July 1st, Florida Panthers got Brett McLean
July 2nd, Atlanta Thrashers got Ken Klee
August 3rd, Montreal Canadiens got Patrice Brisebois
Gained:
July 1st, Scott Hannan previously of the San Jose Sharks
July 1st, Ryan Smyth previously of the New York Islanders
August 20th, Wyatt Smith previously of the Minnesota Wild
Sandie's Thoughts: The two big names were the guys that Colorado was able to sign, Ryan Smyth and Scott Hannan. Both of these guys signed significant long term deals because they believed in what Colorado could offer them, and they were both traded to good teams. As for Brett McLean he played two more years in Florida and then he retired in 2009 at the age of 30.
A.J.'s thoughts: Ahhhh the excitement of this summer. Smyth, Hannan, and a dude named Wyatt (...walked into a bar...). This day would eventually turn into Quincey, the most insulting buyout in NHL history, letting Flash leave after 20+ games, and no dudes named Wyatt. Ready for the best part? This was the most active summer in terms of adding (positive) impact players to the NHL roster. Little did we know at the time that Sakic calling Smyth to recruit him to Colorado would be a sign of things to come. Hopefully he experiences as much success 6 hours from now as he did on this day.
2008
Lost:
July 1st, Minnesota acquired Andrew Brunette
July 1st, Phoenix acquired Kurt Sauer
July 1st, Washington acquired Jose Theodore
July 1 st Toronto Maple Leafs acquired Jeff Finger
July 3rd Tampa Bay Lightning acquired Wyatt Smith
Gained:
July 1st, Andrew Raycroft previously from the Toronto Maple Leafs
July 1st, Darcy Tucker previously from the Toronto Maple Leafs
July 10th, Nathan Smith previously from the Pittsburgh Penguins
July 15th, Brian Willsie previously from the Los Angeles Kings
Sandie's Thoughts: I hated seeing Bruno go, I still think he is one of the best players behind the net, and think he has been undervalued as a player. Plus side, if bridges aren't burnt he could be had at a great price this year. Toronto and Colorado switched players during the free agency, Tucker had a few moments of brilliance, but unfortunately, he no longer played like a pest.
A.J.'s thoughts: Basic rule of NHL free agency: Anytime you can let a Top 6 Forward, starting goaltender, two of you top 7, and a dude named Wyatt leave and replace them with a backup goalie, a washed up agitator (both as buyouts from one of the worst teams in the NHL at the time) and 2 AHL roster players, you just have to do it. It's no wonder we were so terrible that season. Today better be nothing like this trash.
2009
Lost:
July 1, 2009 Ian Laperriere to the Philadelphia Flyers
July 2, 2009 Lawrence Nycholat to the Vancouver Canucks
July 3, 2009 Tyler Arnason to the New York Rangers
July 6, 2009 Andrew Raycroft to the Vancouver Canucks
July 14, 2009 Ben Guite to the Nashville Predators
July 22, 2009 Nathan Smith to the Minnesota Wild
July 30, 2009 Michael Vernace to the Atlanta Thrashers
August 1, 2009 Cody McCormick to the Buffalo Sabres
Gained :
July 1, 2009 Craig Anderson from the Florida Panthers
July 1, 2009 David Koci from the Tampa Bay Lightning
July 6, 2009 Darren Haydar from the Detroit Red Wings
July 8, 2009 Brett Skinner form the New York Islanders
Sandie's Thoughts: This year was a sad year for me, both personally and in the world of hockey, Colorado let Lappy, Guite and Arnason go. Personally I loved Ben Guite and Ian Laperriere is always a fan favorite. Many people were upset to see Cody McCormick leave as well. Colorado went out and got Craig Anderson, who was one of if not the difference maker in the Avalanche season, and David Koci.
A.J.'s thoughts: This was one of the most emotionally conflicting days in recent memory. We let Lappy, Guite, and the good Cody Mac leave, which really sucked. We also let Tyler Arnason and Andrew Raycroft leave, which really rocked. Then we brought in an intriguing career backup named Craig Anderson, who would go on to steal the hearts of Avalanche fans in his first season only to leave them in pieces less than a year later. For amusement sake, David Koci was brought in to get punched repeatedly and in a lost season trick some Avs fans into thinking he should be in a team's plan as a defenseman.
2010
Lost:
July 2, 2010 T.J. Hensick went to the St. Louis Blues
July 5, 2010 Brett Clark went to the Tampa Bay Lightning
July 7, 2010 Brian Fahey went to the Washington Capitals
July 12, 2010 Tyler Weiman went to the Vancouver Canucks
July 14, 2010 Brian Willsie went to the Washington Capitals
July 25, 2010 Chris Durno went to the Tampa Bay Lightning
August 9, 2010 Ruslan Salei went to the Detroit Red Wings
September 27, 2010 Matt Hendricks went to the Washington Capitals
Gained:
July 2, 2010 David Liffiton from the Columbus Blue Jackets
July 2, 2010 Greg Mauldin from the New York Islanders
July 2, 2010 David Van der Gulik from the Calgary Flames
July 2, 2010 Jason Bacashihua from the Washington Capitals
July 7, 2010 Ben Walter from the New Jersey Devils
Sandie's Thoughts: Colorado's defense got weaker by letting Salei and ,yes, Clark go. they also let another though guy in Hendricks go. Colorado gained many players for their AHL team, instead of signing guys for the Avalanche squad, but due to numerous injuries, most saw a stint or two with the Big Club.
A.J.'s Thoughts: BOY HOWDY LAST YEAR WAS A REAL RIOT, WASN'T IT? Seriously, we did nothing until the second day of free agency because apparently it took us an entire day to sift through the AHL portion of free agency and pick out 2 guys who had previously been in the organization (Liffiton and Cash), a guy who dared to wear number 7 in Denver and Greg Mauldin. Fully committed to the building from within philosophy at this point, the Avalanche dared not set their foot in the free agent waters lest they improve their NHL roster without the loss of any assets. On the Altitude side of things, 2010's free agent frenzy played a significant role in the Monsters making their first playoff appearance. The losses ranged from "FINALLY" (Clark) to "Why did it have to be this way :(" (Hendricks).

What are the weirdest holidays that Canada has? There is Canada Day and Boxing Day, anything else? And another random though because this morning is boring as hell, what the hell is a toque (if I even spelled that right)? I got the word from Bob and Doug’s 12 days of Christmas, 5 golden toques, I always wondered what that was.

GIVE ME VOKOUN NOW GOD DAMNIT
A man who stole my whisky used the defense that no one could resist a bottle of Scotch. I had no choice but to testify on his behalf.
What kind of contract would you give him?
In all seriousness. If you were going to try and snipe Stamkos right now, knowing a new CBA looms, with a LOT of rumors the cap will drop significantly when it does, what kind of offer sheet would you give him?
A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day.

Did Philly throw their offer sheet at him?

Philly said they’re not going to offer sheet.

Mile High Hockey : Where B- is different than C+
You would have to tell me that. Im not good att crunching numbers. Just want to se the guy putting up 50 goals in the Avs jersey next season.
Oh, okay.
I was just curious. It’s FA day. The devil’s in the details, my friend.
A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day.
Mile High Hockey : Where B- is different than C+
Seriously?
It would be unpossible to sign him.
a) Sherman would be persona non grata for stealing him
b) The cap hit would be ridiculously high, preventing us from re-signing Duchene etc, when they are due a rise next year.
The only way it would work would be to sign him for say 3 years with a ridiculously front loaded contract, the maximum amount allowed (11 mil?) dropping to a 5 mil, 3 mil on years 2 and 3. The Duke will possibly retire after next season, so his cap hit is off the books and also, I think Quincey’s 3 mil is off then as well.
Honestly, I would rather keep Duchene.
Adam Foote - Warrior
I agree with this.
Also not mentioned in this is the loss of draft picks based on the rules of Restricted Free Agency. It would simply cost too much.
A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day.

THAT could be an result.
How about a Yakupov-Stamkos-Landeskog line? Any takers?
A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day.
Mile High Hockey : Where B- is different than C+
That would be our ONLY line
but whatever. Also disregard that we’d give up the Yakupov pick to get Stamkos. lolfaillogic

My prediction? The Avs will strike out hard in FA…and will be forced to take on bad contracts and reclamation projects (like they did with Tucker) to make the cap floor. Management’s line will continue to be “build from within”
My hope? That I’m wrong
The doctor's say he's got a 50/50 chance of living...though there's only a 10% chance of that. - The Naked Gun
I don't agree with this at all.
I think the Avs have a plan and will execute it. I think the plan might suck but I strongly doubt we have to take on bad contracts. We’ve been far too careful about where our money goes to start getting silly with it now.Reclamation projects are kind of a niche for all the Colorado sports teams and the Avalanche are certainly no different.
A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day.
Mile High Hockey : Where B- is different than C+
I think they have a plan too. Sakic would not allow it any other way.
A man who stole my whisky used the defense that no one could resist a bottle of Scotch. I had no choice but to testify on his behalf.
He's recruiting guys himself.
And he still has that kind of name recognition that when he calls and a guy answers, he hears, “Hey, this is Joe Sakic. I’m calling on behalf of the Colorado Avalanche because we think you’re one of the missing pieces to the resurgence of our organization. I can promise you Colorado is a great place to live with good schools, beautiful weather, and it’s a first-class organization with a primary focus on treating our players well. We have the kind of history that’s hard to come by in the NHL and we’re looking to get back to that and feel you can be a big piece of that.” What the hell is Simon Gagne going to say? Sorry, I have Scott Howson in Columbus on the other line, can I call you back?

True, I have just heard of “the plan” for too many years now to be optimistic
The doctor's say he's got a 50/50 chance of living...though there's only a 10% chance of that. - The Naked Gun
Rebuilding is a long-term plan
To be honest, I think part of my optimism is because what I see happening with the Avalanche right now is the exact same thing I saw with the Rockies back in the early 2000s. The team wasn’t spending money and was focusing on building from within and playing young players in the bigs to let them develop there. Look how that turned out. They’re a competitive team right now. Struggling from injury problems, but competitive. I have faith it’s going to happen. The team isn’t stagnating like Florida or Atlanta. They’re making movies, filling holes. You can see it all coming together. It’s just going to take time.

Well this is where I wonder about the Vokoun signing. If it’s still going to take awhile, why would he sign here? I’m sure he’d like to get close to winning something before he retires
The doctor's say he's got a 50/50 chance of living...though there's only a 10% chance of that. - The Naked Gun
I've maintained for a long, long time
I don’t see Vokoun in Colorado. I hope like hell I’m wrong but I simply don’t see it outside of a “need-money” kind of fit. I think Harding fits the profile of an Av so well right now it’s a little scary. He’s the guy I would bank on us banking on. But I made my prediction yesterday. I think Giguere on a one year deal is pretty in line with our goal of no long contracts. Harding on a 2 year, $4 million deal would make a ton of sense to me.
A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day.
Mile High Hockey : Where B- is different than C+
Giguere…meh. Although maybe getting out of Toronto would make him happy
The doctor's say he's got a 50/50 chance of living...though there's only a 10% chance of that. - The Naked Gun
I wouldn't be happy
But it’s the kind of upside/short contract/reclamation project that would fall in line with how Colorado has structured their roster. They aren’t afraid to take a chance on giving a guy playing time if the trade off is getting him for relatively cheap and on a short contract.
A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day.
Mile High Hockey : Where B- is different than C+
Eventually though the Avs are going to have to realize that 1-2 year contracts are going to lead to too much turnover.
The doctor's say he's got a 50/50 chance of living...though there's only a 10% chance of that. - The Naked Gun
well...yeah
Wait for the new CBA. There are some teams in a position to shoot now and ask later. We aren’t one of them. There are a whooole bunch of theories the cap is going to drop significantly in the new CBA. If that happens, we’d be fucked…again. I’m fine with this strategy…nor now. After the new CBA, no fucking excuses. Time to whip out, slap it on the table, and demand respect in this league. YEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

{yawns} Not really, but we’ll say I am. I have work at 8 and lunch at 11 (which would be 1PM EST). I expect the Avs to have a deal in place by the time I come home to eat (oh please, Sherman make it happen – preferably Vokoun).
Just a Colorado girl in Montana who <3s the Avs.
Not really what in the hell.
It’s FA DAY! Where bad decisions made today can haunt a franchise for years until they buy him out or send him to the AHL. This is an exciting time that plays a pivotal role in the future of so many franchises!

Besides
Outside of about 5 players, I really don’t see this as a deeply impactful free agent class. If you’re going to spend money, do it wisely. There aren’t a lot of guys I’d throw much money at to play over the guys we currently have.

Again, I hope I am wrong…but they way the Avs have been talking…it’s cap floor and no higher, and that they don’t need big named Free Agents to help their core

When have they said “we will only go to the cap floor and no higher”.
They have mentioned rebuild and building from within, but they have no goalies. Clearly they need something and they will sign two people.
A man who stole my whisky used the defense that no one could resist a bottle of Scotch. I had no choice but to testify on his behalf.
They have never said it specifically, but everything points that direction. I agree on the goalies…but that doesn’t mean they have to spend a lot on them

I’m not angry at Andy. I never will be. I certainly don’t understand what happened but the whole just leaves me with such a deep sadness. But the vindictive asshole side of me would be very pleased to see him relegated to having to beat out Vokoun for a starting job.

Eh, I still like Andy (because I’m sleeping with him remember)…so I wish him nothing but the best. If it was ONLY him who had that attitude last year, I’d be more inclined to not like him. But once Cohen, Stewie and Shatty all had their “words”…I figured something deeper was dividing the group (and not on a Twitter level)
